Kickoff time set for Texas Tech football's Week 5 trip to Colorado - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

On Monday, the Big 12 Conference released its Week 5 schedule, giving the Tech-Colorado matchup a national window on FOX. It's the kind of billing that gets attention across Lubbock, where Red Raider football pulls people out of Tech Terrace living rooms and into sports bars along 19th Street every fall Saturday.

This isn't the first time these two have met as Big 12 opponents. Colorado beat Texas Tech in Lubbock during the 2024 season, so the Red Raiders will be looking for payback on the road this time around.

For Tech fans planning their fall, a prime-time national broadcast means the game will be easy to find no matter where you're watching from. It also raises the stakes a little. A trip to Boulder against a Deion Sanders-coached team already draws eyes, and a national FOX audience means Lubbock's team will be under a bigger spotlight than a typical midseason conference game.
